Our diving and freediving courses

Please note: all our scubadiving and freediving courses are only available as part of our private, tailor-made charters.

Intro dive

No previous experience necessary

Have you always dreamed of being suspended in crystal clear, warm tropical waters surrounded by a myriad of marine species? Now you can. Our experienced and highly qualified dive team will look after everything for you. This means that you can dive without having to think about anything other than the underwater paradise that surrounds you.

Certified dive

Our experienced Big Blue Fiji dive team will tailor your dives around your ability and what you want to see. Whatever you want to experience – be it wrecks, caves, pinnacles, walls, sharks, or turtles – we will make it happen.

SSI Open Water

No previous experience necessary

Consisting of six dives over the course of your charter (minimum three days), the SSI Open Water dive course will be custom-designed by our highly qualified and experienced dive team.

SSI Advanced Open Water Course

The SSI Advanced Open Water consists of five dives over the course of your charter (minimum three days). Our highly qualified dive team will take you to some of the most spectacular dive sites on the planet, from beautiful reefs to caves and great coral walls. You therefore get to learn whilst experiencing some unparalleled diving.

SSI Stress and Rescue Course

On special request only

Stress is a major cause of diving accidents and negatively impacts rescue situations. The SSI Stress and Rescue course will teach you the knowledge and skills required to recognise and deal with stress, prevent accidents, and deal with emergency situations. Big Blue Fiji can take you through your SSI Stress and Rescue course (minimum three days) whilst on board.

SSI Level 1 Freediving Course

Progress from your SSI Level 1 Freediving course with our highly qualified and experienced dive team whilst surrounded by crystal clear waters and rich coral reefs. Our Big Blue Fiji team will teach you the techniques and skills needed to enable you to reach depths of up to 30m on a single breath. Once you have gained the ability to reach 30m, you could have the opportunity to freedive with manta rays or go spearfishing for your dinner that evening!
